Suddenly this crazy world is starting to make sense to me. You come in on some mornings, sit down with the obligatory cup of Joe, and you face the blank screen and hope you find something that will entertain, inspire, or fill the gap between your ears. The news is dismal at best, seems no one has any good news, and often it gets you down. My heart, for lack of a better word, just isn’t in it this morning.
With all my heart.
My heart wasn’t in it.
Lionhearted.
Heartless.
I guess we divide man into distinct characters or personality traits and use the “heart” for the main thrust. Man’s personality divides into intellect, sensibility (emotion), and will. Proverbs 12:11 states that “he who follows frivolity is devoid of understanding” (heart). So much for intellect. The heart runs the whole gauntlet of emotions, from good to bad. Think about it.
There is a reason for my apparent discontent, and that reason wells up from deep inside me. We make ourselves unhappy all the time. Often I sit here, in the still of the morning, and I wonder why?
